It was a ticklish moment. They shot out of the white spray and were headed for the rocky wall. “Quick, Jerry!” yelled Bob. “Pull her ’round.” “Is that one of your acquaintances?” When he came to the surface, Bob’s first sensation was one of extreme weariness.

His spouse need fear no such disaster; “Yes. They rowed me ashore from the steamer.” It was some Englishmen from the big coal steamer, and they were rowing straight toward the buoy, talking fast. Pshaw! how stupid it is when people talk English. Without waiting to say, “By your leave,” they took Johnny Blossom from the buoy, put him into their boat, and rowed directly to the steamship. One of the sailors scooped up some salt water in his hand and splashed it over Johnny Blossom’s tear streaked face and laughed. Then Johnny laughed, too. “Yes, indeed, you are to come; you must come.
